Full Description

{1} The few fragments of worked flint recovered were the only evidence for clear prehistoric activity recovered during the evaluation. These were either found within the subsoil, or from the interface between the subsoil and the fills of the possible features. It seems probable that these features are either geological features or the result of other natural processes
